Teresa's Torment is the first in a four-part saga that chronicles the harrowing journey of Teresa Mendoza, a reserved and modest young Spanish blonde. After being handed over by her brother to one of his creditors, Teresa finds herself in the grasp of Colonel Garcia Valmira, a wealthy and cruel Spanish gentleman with a secret ranch in the remote Gran Chaco region of Argentina. This ranch, named Los Limitas, is home to 40-50 captive women, all living in complete servitude, forced to cater to the Colonel’s bizarre and sadistic desires.

Teresa, horrified by her new reality, initially resists but soon finds herself broken physically and mentally by the relentless Judith Somerton, one of the Colonel’s overseers. Things take a more sinister turn when Janina Casal, Teresa's former friend and rival, arrives at Los Limitas. Unknown to both women, Janina is a guest of the Colonel, still nursing a burning hatred for Teresa over a past love affair. The stage is set for a twisted tale of sadistic revenge and psychological torment, as the dynamics of power and submission shift between the two former friends. Teresa's Torment explores the cruelty of betrayal, power, and revenge in a world of complete captivity.
